Once aboard, James comes face to face with a pirate boy who is in reality fierce, desperate—and gorgeous—Samantha Christian, on the run from a sadistic Virginia plantation owner. With her identity unbound, the good captain dutifully takes her under his personal command, whereupon decorum goes out the porthole. But while his heart is lost to Samantha by the time they reach England, her noose still awaits. Now James’s sense of duty will be severely tested. As for Samantha, she has a plan, and a duty, of her own . . .

Jazz Kelly caught a glimpse of a familiar profile the man was Gianni Payne. She had followed his career since their fling in San Francisco.
Gianni went from writing bestselling blockbusters to one of Hollywoods hottest franchises.
The last time they were in the same room together he came close to ruining her life. Their love affair had been a disaster with one saving grace. Jazz knew better than to fall for him again.
But if she knew that why was her heart pounding out of her chest and butterflies chasing each other in her stomach?
There he stood they were once again in the same space of all places a lobby halfway around the world from home. He looked the same only more handsome if that was possible.
Jazz had grown up and matured since her hero worshipping days. Her company, Sierra Designs was a stellar success. It didn’t seem possible that seven years had gone by since their love affair had begun and ended so abruptly.
One thing she knew for certain she had no interest in a Deja Vu of Love.

Jazz Kelly woke up one morning to find herself the unwitting butt of a morning show punch line, on local radio. It was the beginning a journey, she never expected. Before the radio show, she was living, life on training wheels. But when she got hired with a powerhouse Public Relations Firm the wheels came off.
Instead of looking forward to the first book tour of her short career, she struggled to stay in the driver’s seat.
She found herself surrounded by new personalities. Her new guest list included a powerhouse boss, the bad-boy writer, and his lunatic assistant. Jazz’s greatest fear was that her career would end before it began.
Or worse, she would become the next good-time girl of the bad boy and just as crazy, as his lunatic assistant. It was a question of whether she could regain control – and stay sane in the process.
